Overview of mountain biking route:
Čemerno – Volujak MTB route is situated in the east area of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the area between Volujak and Lebršnik mountains. Rocky and dry trail is labeled with the hiking labels. The route is short, fast & easy with few ups and downs. This is point to point route. For comeback I rode on the same trail and the total length of the route is about 30 km. From the trail there is a short hiking section to Jagodino Jezero lake situated near Kuk peak. Near Jagodino Jezero lake there is the border line between Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The border line isn’t labeled and there is no border control. The route can be combined with Čemerno – Zelengora and Čemerno – Lebršnik routes.

The starting point of MTB route is the crossroad in Čemerno village. Coming from Foča turn left in Čemerno. The carriageway leads to the south east course. On the right side of the trail there is Lebršnik massif. Keep straight on all crosses until you reach the village. Keep straight along the forest to Papin Do. From Papin Do proceed to the north than to the east in the area named Škiljevića Poljana. There is a labelled junction with the hiking labels. The hiking singletrack leads towards the lake named Jagodino Jezero. Leave the bike and in 10 minutes you will be near Jagodino Jezero lake. Near the lake there is the spring of water named Jagodino Vrelo. I returned back to the carriageway and rode to the south east in the area named Košare. This area belongs to Montenegro. From Košare I returned back to the last cross at Škiljevića Poljana and rode to Majdan area at 1528m altitude. The trail leads near Kuk peak. From Majdan the view is opened to the valley where little streams form Sutjeska river. On the carriageway there is a labelled cross with the hiking trail that leads to the peak of Volujak at 2336m altitude. For comeback I rode on the same trail.
